A man once said “I have heard it said by Messire Guillaume Front, formerly the parish priest, that Joan was a good Catholic, that he had never met a better and had non better in his parish” (Pernoud 18). This faithfulness to the church leads to Joan of Arc announcing her call from God that Charles VII is the rightful heir to the french throne.

Joan of Arc lived during a time where most of the world was a patriarchal society and women were not treated equally and were seen as being beneath men. She also lived during a time where the church was the overarching power and were the only ones who had a say in nearly all situations. Although some of the charges were accurate, there was no way they could have proved she was a “witch” and she simply dressed in men’s clothing for her own protection, not to rebel against the church's ideology. She may have gone against what the church believed, but she was also a heroine and the extent of her punishment, death, was unquestionably extreme. Because of this, the trial of Joan of Arc was not only unfair, but her innocence, as well as induction

Joan of Arc, was the fourteen-year-old who led the French army to victory against the British on the word of God (Joan of Arc. para. 2). She was captured a year later and was put on trial for 70 charges, including witchcraft, heresy and dressing like a man, but during that time she never swayed from her word and for which she was burned alive (Joan of Arc, para.12).

The Passion of Joan of Arc is a 1928 silent French film by Danish film director Carl Theodor Dreyer based on the trial of Joan of Arc, national heroine of France, who claimed that God had spoken to her and led the French army to several victories against the English in the Hundred Years’ War. During the trial for heresy, Joan is subjected to abuse and scare tactics by the court officials which lead her to signing a confession. After realizing that she has been unfaithful to God she renounces her confession and is sentenced to execution. When Dreyer was invited to make a film in France by the Société Générale des Films, there was a lot of controversy because many people though that a Dane would not be able to direct a film about of one of France's most admired heroes. When he decided to make Joan of Arc due to her renewed popularity, he did a lot research on her in order to tell the story as accurately as possible and employed cinematic techniques to tell a story that would be respected by the people of France. The interrogation scene after Joan has been sworn in and the scene where she is executed were particularly interesting in terms the cinematic techniques used. In both of them- as well as in the rest of the film- Dreyer combines styles of both the French Impressionism and German Expressionism movements but also combines them with unusual techniques, specifically the disregard of continuity editing, in order to convey strong emotion, express subjectivity and keep audiences captivated.

Joan of Arc was an illiterate and extremely religious woman born into the peasant family of her father Jacques d'Arc, a farmer in the village of Dorémy, and her mother Isabelle Romée in Lorraine on the 6th of January in 1412. In her own time, she earned the title of heroine by assisting Charles VII, the current monarch of France, in reclaiming France from English ownership during a late phase of the Hundred Years' War, a prolonged conflict between England and France for the domination of Western Europe. She was sent to provide support at the siege of Orléans, which resulted in a victory for France after nine days of Joan's presence. She met her fiery demise at the stake on the 30th of May, 1431 after being captured on the 23rd of May a year prior by Burgundian faction, whom was allied with the English. Despite this, Joan of Arc was what would be considered an outcast in her time period. At the time, women weren't seen as war heroes, but rather maids and housewives. Joan breaks this status quota because she believed to be required to drive the English out of France out of God's will. In the end, Joan was successful in her mission at the Siege of Orleans and was dubbed a heroine of France. However, Joan was tasked with overcoming the struggles of reaching a position to serve her mission, as well the battles she was tasked to lead soldiers of France into, which in turn made her a figure which generations to come would look up to.

Joan of Arc was born sometime during 1412 in Domremy, France to a poor tenant farmer and a highly religious mother. At the time that she was born, France and England had been fighting for seventy-five years, and her region had greatly suffered from the nationalistic war. “From an early age, Joan displayed a sensitive and religious temperament.” Historians comply refer to being committed to the service of God. Furthermore, from the age of thirteen, she began to have visions. In these visions, she said she felt a voice telling her to save the French. At her trial six years later, she said that she felt these visions were as real as seeing a person standing next to her. These visions were thought to be the voices of Saint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret, all being important French saints whom Joan had learned about at the church she attended, and through her mother’s teachings. These visions made Joan all the more religiously inclined, and she would frequent the church confessions. Originally, Joan did not tell others about the visions she had been experiencing, but in 1428 the voices urged her to seek an audience with the Dauphin Charles de Ponthieu. This paper will examine the life of Joan of Arc through the Hundred Years War, and explain how she went from a hero to being executed as a heretic of her time.

Joan of Arc is portrayed as a woman who came out of nowhere to help the French win the Hundred Years’ War with the words of God powering her. Joan was even considered a gift from God although there were priestly men that thought Joan was a fake which later contributed to her devastating death at the hands of the English. Joan became a powerful woman when the visions led her to the holy mission of saving France while using her intellect and sharp tongue when the time called for it. The eccentric tendencies of Joan is what led to her ultimate downfall.
